Pruning orange sinningia — FAQ
When should I prune orange sinningia?
Cut back in autumn or when foliage yellows and the plant naturally senesces after flowering. Once leaves yellow and stems collapse post-bloom, cut all top growth back to 1–2 cm above the tuber with clean scissors or pruners. Store the tuber dry and cool through dormancy.
How often does orange sinningia need pruning?
Annually at the end of the growing season. Orange sinningia dies back to a tuber after flowering — cut stems back to near soil level once foliage yellows and the plant enters dormancy. This is seasonal management rather than pruning for shape. When growth resumes in spring, allow new shoots to develop uncut.
